Benfica launched an attack on Porto after what it claims was a “forgivable penalty” against Famalicao (3-0) with the score at 1-0. “It should be noted again that unanimous criticism points to the existence of a penalty forgiveness against Porto. Once again the referee (António Nobre) and VAR (Rui Costa) decided otherwise. This is now the third penalty awarded in the league against Porto, with unanimous criticism for the inaction of the referee and VAR. The record and the requirement of strictness in the league remain,” Benfica said in its newsletter.
The attack is reminiscent of the game in which Estakio (44 minutes) blocks Gustavo Sa’s shot with his elbow in the penalty area. The referee ordered play to start and VAR confirmed it. A controversial move when the result was 1-0 (goal by Evanilson, 9′) and when the Famalicenses were on the rise. However, in the final part the “dragons” achieved a strong result thanks to goals from Taremi (45+4) and Francisco Conceição (87).
Conceição inspires confidence in Taremi
Sérgio Conceição played a decisive role in Taremi’s return to scoring. The Iranian scored Porto’s second goal in a 3-0 win over Famalican and went to thank the coach. The coach focused on psychological work to instill confidence in the striker. He always showed great patience with the player and tried to emphasize his importance in the team, taking the pressure off him to score. It worked.
